My LQS has done two bus trips, next one planned for 2012 to the Rocky Mountain area. I went on the one last year went from Louisiana to Wisconsin Had such a great time 8 days, There were 40 women and 1 man the bus driver. We hit about 14 shops including Nancy's Notions. This year I was unable to go but they went all the way to New York. Had a great time. They are still talking about it. Can't wait until the 2012 trip. I have a nonquilter friend flying in from Fl to go on the trip with us. The trip is open to all but limited to 40. If you are interested let me know and I will pm you with the contact.
